Is this a new hard drive or one that has nothing on it ?

Posted by iknownocoding on Sep. 10 2005,17:15

one that has nothing on it i wiped it clean (had windows before is a sony vaio 2ghz 516 ram some stuff like that so i dont think its a lack of anything)

*remebers one* is there anyway i can get my scroll whell on my mouse to work

There have been a few questions about scroll wheels, but I have really not paid much attention to them. I have a few mice laying around so I just swap them around until I find one that works. I do think that with XFree86 there is a way of tweaking things to get them to work, but I have not done that.
